A viral photo of a man carrying two geese in Ohio fueled Donald Trump�s wild,
now-debunked conspiracy that Haitian migrants are eating pets in the state �
but turns out it was a wild goose chase.

The Ohio Division of Wildlife told TMZ that the man was picking up the two
geese that had been hit by a car in Columbus, which is about 45 minutes from
Springfield, where Trump had previously claimed that migrants were chowing
down on the birds.

In order to collect a carcass, people need documentation from a county
sheriff or wildlife officer, the wildlife organization explained, but
according to the Franklin County Wildlife Office, this is not required for
geese, meaning the man had a right to them.

TMZ reported that there is no evidence that the man is Haitian, an immigrant
or that he even intended to eat the geese.
